Australia's commercial capital offers shoppers all the benefits of a developed country. Stroll around the Rocks Market to pick up trinkets or visit one of Sydney's flashiest Malls, Westfield Bondi Junction. Advantages: A host of cultural attractions, favourable climate and dependable city transport. Challenges: Expensive, especially hotels, and relatively short shopping hours; visa regulations can also be relatively tricky.
